前进吧！新加坡。金牌背后的叛逆故事……
如果当时约瑟林一家，像绝大数新加坡家庭一样，一听到行动党的为难，一听到政府的不支持，就马上松手，不愿违背国家的既定政策，不愿意坚持自己的信念和理想，那么，我们很可能就看不到这举国欢庆的一幕了。 8月9日，新加坡刚刚庆祝立国51周年。 8月13日，新加坡终于在奥林匹克运动会上赢得第一面金牌，举国欢庆。尤其是人民行动党政治领袖和高官们，更加认为这个创举和他们息息相关，甚至坚信这和他们的教育、培育、支持有关。 事实是否如此？金牌背后的故事，约瑟林个人和家庭的支持、坚持、信念，甚至是叛逆行为更加有可能是约瑟林成功之道。 当新加坡国歌巴西里约响起，当新加坡国旗在游泳馆升起，我们在分享的这份光荣和荣誉时，应该想起约瑟林妈妈的坚持，以及她如何为支持约瑟林完成任务而付出的努力。 这是一个活生生的不以行动党方式，背离行动党僵硬制度的成功例子。当然，当你选择走一条不同的道路，你的压力一定不少，有时还被认为是麻烦制造者。 雅虎新加坡在2013年访问过约瑟林妈妈May，内容涉及对新加坡的效忠和国民服役问题。May反问当局，她在教导约瑟林效忠新加坡，但是，如果国家不给于支持，约瑟林如何取得游泳的佳绩。 这或许是一个先有鸡蛋还是先有鸡的问题。大家都无法在几年前就判断约瑟林，可以在今天取得金牌。 可能会，也可能不会。阅读全文» -- Republished from https://xinguozhi.wordpress.com.
